Jonah Heim (TEX) Under 3.5 Hits (-345)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Athletics gear up to face the Brewers, all eyes should be on Jonah Heim's performance at the plate. While Heim has shown flashes of brilliance this season, he’s had a tough time consistently racking up hits against right-handed pitchers, and that’s exactly what he’ll be up against today. The Brewers’ pitching staff has been exceptional lately, boasting a stingy 3.50 ERA over the last month, making it challenging for hitters like Heim to find their rhythm. Additionally, Heim’s recent struggles — he has averaged less than one hit per game over his last few outings — make the under on his hits line intriguing. With a formidable Brewers bullpen lurking, the odds of Heim surpassing 3.5 hits seem slim. Betting the under here not only aligns with recent trends but also reflects a keen understanding of the current pitching matchup and the way Heim has been swinging the bat.
Jonah Heim (TEX) Under 6.5 Total Bases (-345)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Athletics prepare to host the Brewers, all eyes will be on Jonah Heim, but betting on him to hit over 6.5 total bases might not be the best play. Despite his talent, Heim has been facing a tough stretch against right-handed pitchers like Milwaukee's ace, whose blend of speed and accuracy has kept hitters at bay. The Brewers' pitching staff has excelled lately, limiting opponents to a mere .230 batting average, which could stifle Heim's chances of racking up those bases. Additionally, Heim's recent form shows a tendency to struggle in high-pressure situations, particularly against elite bullpen arms that the Brewers boast. With the model predicting a mere 0.81 total bases for Heim and an implied probability of 77.5% for the under, it seems wise to lean toward the under 6.5 in this matchup. Sometimes, the smart money is on the quieter side of the action.

Tonight’s matchup between the Athletics and the Brewers sets the stage for an intriguing betting opportunity, particularly regarding Garrett Mitchell’s doubles. While Mitchell has shown flashes of brilliance, the odds lean heavily toward the “Under” for his total doubles at 2.5. Digging deeper, the Athletics' pitching staff has quietly improved, showcasing a solid ability to limit extra-base hits lately. They’ve held opponents to a mere 1.2 doubles per game over their last few series. Meanwhile, Mitchell has been struggling to find gaps consistently, with only a handful of extra-base hits in his last stretch. Combine that with the Brewers’ tendency to play small ball against teams with strong pitching, and it’s hard to envision Mitchell surpassing that number tonight. Given the trends and the matchup dynamics, the Under on Garrett Mitchell’s doubles feels like the savvy play.
